Now a days in our society it is seen that people do not have due respect to others. Every one is proud of his property, status, power, name and fame. Children are also not far from this bad trend. They do not have proper respect for their elders as well as for their teachers. They tend to take for granted that respecting elders is about enslaving to them. They consider that respect is what they give to an authority figure, because they need to be in their good books. However, that is not respect, but disrespect since it is not something genuine. The way in which people address aged rickshaw pullers, labourers or the servants, is very pathetic and painful. Respect towards elders or any person, as a matter of fact is about honoring or holding in esteem an individual. It reflects the value and virtue of a person. Hence, we all must respect our elders.
